(a) : The State / UT wise position of actual strength of teachers and total number of vacancies in Kendriya Vidyalayas is at Annexure-I.

(b) : The State / UT wise vacancy position of Principals, PGTs and TGTs in Kendriya Vidyalayas is at Annexure-II.

(c) & (d): Filling up of vacancies is a continuous process and action is taken from time to time as per the provisions of the Recruitment Rules for each category of post. 3874 vacancies to be filled up through direct recruitment had been advertised by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. These included Principal - 90, Vice Principal - 30, PGTs 387, TGTs-728 and PRTs-2639. The written examination for the post of Principal has also been held and offers of appointment have been issued. For the posts of Vice-Principal and TGTs the written examination have been completed. The remaining vacancies are to be filled through Limited Department Examination or Promotion from amongst eligible feeder grade staff. Apart from the above, teachers are also engaged on contractual basis for temporary durations by respective KVs as per the policy of KVS so that the studies of students do not suffer.

(e) KVS had conducted recruitment test on 04.10.2015 for appointment of primary teachers which was cancelled due to leakage of question papers. The written examination for the post of PGTs which was scheduled for 20th September, 2015 was also postponed as it was to be conducted by the same recruiting agency.
